My local programmer community is infested with these guys.
My co-worker and I held a programming meetup in our office, some programmers came, but also we had the luck of drawing the attention of a few of these guys. Within the same 120 second span he both asked me to:
1. Quit the company and come work for him.
2. Hire him at our own company.
3. Told me that I would pay him $120k+ to come up with business ideas.
But I don't think this trait is unique to business guys. I've had a programmer send me an email inviting himself over to my home. I declined the gracious offer.
I don't go out to programmer meetups any more, and I avoid making contact at conferences.
